Notes

How to Store & Reheat Leftover Tater Tot Casserole

Let the casserole cool completely before storing. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil or transfer leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

For the best texture when reheating, warm leftovers in the oven at 350°F until heated through, or use the air fryer to help the tater tots crisp back up. The microwave works well for quick lunches, but the tater tots will be softer.

If you know you’ll be reheating individual servings, storing leftovers in portioned containers makes things even easier.
